Mourinho Questions Arsenal’s Patience With Arteta After New Deal
José Mourinho has contrasted Arsenal’s long-term backing of Mikel Arteta with the pressure managers face at Real Madrid. Speaking before Real Madrid’s league match against Villarreal, Mourinho referred to Arteta’s new contract until 2030 and the Arsenal manager’s view that his project is only beginning. Mourinho said such a message would not be accepted at Madrid because expectations at the club are different. Arteta joined Arsenal in December 2019 and won the FA Cup in his first season. After three consecutive second-place league finishes, he led the Gunners to the 2025/26 Premier League title. The remarks renew Mourinho’s long-running connection with Arsenal, shaped by his past rivalries with Arsène Wenger while managing Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
